Tin Hanan/The Shadow (spoilers)

You both have valid points there, and I agree, but here's something I don't quite comprehend...

How is the ending where Daniel takes his revenge or where he saves Agrippa any different? Both screw up Alexander's escape bid, yet the Shadow will kill Daniel in the special ending regardless. Why is that?

Possibly has something to do with Alexander's portal. In the revenge ending, it's destroyed, in the other two it opens and is used.

Also, we don't know for a fact that Daniel's dead. We know that he was injured by the shadow, but it's not clear whether he was dead or simply hallucinating when he heard Agrippa's voice in the last section of that ending. Agrippa could literally convincing Weyer to save Daniel (from death/damnation), or it could be Daniel's interpretation of Agrippa due to the pain of his injury. Although almost everyone who came into contact with the Shadow has died, perhaps by sacrificing Alexander (who trespassed far deeper into the Shadow's realm than Daniel did), Daniel was partially spared or simply injured and left to die. It depends on how you interpret the darkness with the specs of light.
